I thought this would be an interesting look at level of education and political affiliation. Your vote will be private of course. Give me a second to post the poll as it's going to take a minute to get all the options up.

What part of the sample is too small? Associates Degree missing?

I know at least one Independant that is voting for a Dem this year so the Dems aren't losing by as much as you think.

I don't think you're joking. With that in mind the "sample" isn't the answer set it is the amount of people responding. Statistically a sample set of around 1000 is prefered to achieve 95% reliability.

Yeah the sample is too small, it's doubtful we'll get up to 1000 responses anytime soon. We'll leave it running indefinitely and see what happens.

I wasn't (joking), thanks for catching that. I feel like an ass now that I realize what I posted. I should have had the coffee first. Oh well, maybe we can educate more than one person today. If that's the case then I feel better already.
